New algorithms offer near-optimal regret bounds for AI-driven trade mechanisms

Researchers have developed new algorithms for profit maximization in bilateral trade scenarios, focusing on a broker's regret minimization. The study introduces a learning algorithm with a $\tilde O(T^{\frac 23})$ regret rate for adversarial settings, which is nearly optimal. For independent distributions satisfying the monotone-hazard-rate property, a different algorithm achieves nearly tight $\tilde{O}(\sqrt{T})$ regret. The paper also demonstrates a theoretical separation between monotone-hazard-rate and regular distributions, showing a minimax regret rate of $\tilde \Theta(T^{\frac 35})$ for the latter. AI

IMPACT Introduces advanced learning algorithms that could optimize trading strategies in complex economic environments.

    Regret Bounds for Profit Maximization in Bilateral Trade: Learning the Best Posted-Price Mechanism

    arXiv:2611.08173v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bilateral trade models the task of intermediating between two strategic agents, a seller and a buyer, willing to trade a good for which they hold private valuations. We study this problem from the perspective of a profit-maximizin…
